Success With The V. A. Due To Exceptional Assistance

Dr. Anaise and Dr. Benham continually provided me top notch assistance throughout my recent disability case with the V. A.. They always swiftly responded to my inquiries with professionalism and reassurance. The evidence (medical opinion) they provided was second to none. They provided me with a sol...id, well researched and expansive document which was so solid that a V.A. rater attempted to ignore it. But after higher level reviews, my case was finally approved. Highly recommend this highly competent team!!!

EXPERT Medical Opinion!

Dr. Anaise helped with my VA medical claim for obstructive sleep apnea after I found him through hours of online research and comparison. I could tell by the reviews that I was making the best choice for me…and now I absolutely know I did! I contacted him through his online portal and I was contacted... the very next business day. The email was detailed with regards to his opinion regarding my case, information that was needed from me, cost for his service, and the timeline. Unfortunately, not sure why, but I hesitated. Big mistake! When I finally sent my information about a month later, there was constant communication. I not only received my IMO when I was told I would receive it, but it very detailed! I’m no medical expert, but after reading through it, I just knew I made the best choice! After I reviewed it, it was then finalized by Dr. Anaise and emailed back to me the very next day. The hard copy was also mailed out two days later! The promptness of Dr. Anaise and Dr. Benham cannot be denied! The only delay in this entire process was when I waited to submit my information to him! I was granted 100% VA disability (less than two months later). The information from Dr. Anaise was clear, service was prompt, and quality was exceptional. I have already started recommending Dr. Anaise to other veterans and wish that I had found him a whole lot sooner!!!

Top-Notch Medical Opinion

I reached out to Dr. Anaise for help with an Expert Medical Opinion, and I'm truly grateful for the outstanding work he performed. Dr. Anaise's dedication to veterans is remarkable, and his attention to detail and knowledge made a real difference in the superb quality of documentation he delivered. ... What really stood out to me was Dr. Anaise's deep knowledge of VA disabilities and how they affect veterans in the workforce. He used this expertise to develop an expert medical opinion that not only assessed my conditions accurately but also shed light on how they impact my ability to find work. I highly recommend Dr. Anaise to anyone seeking a noteworthy expert medical opinion to support their VA claim. Not only was the quality exceptional but the experience of working with Dr. Anaise and Dr. Benham (his partner/associate) was phenomenal: responsive, thorough, and caring. I can’t thank them enough for the work they performed in support of my claim!

Knowledge and Professionalism

Dr. David Anaise who is also an Attorney and Dr Benham are by far the the best choice for any Veteran looking for representation. I say this with my direct experience of them handling two appeals over the last few years. WON! WON! Also if you are looking for an evaluation or a Independent medical... opinion (IMO) or Nexus opinion, look no further than Dr Anise and Dr Benham. This team is the best on helping Veteran get the benefits that they earned and what they are entitled to. RE: The best way to communicate with them is by Email.

Wow!!!

I reached out to Dr. Anaise in October 2022 after being denied service connection for Sleep Apnea secondary to PTSD. Dr. Benham immediately contacted me, and I provided the requested medical records and anything pertinent to my case. Within two weeks I had an 82-page IMO that also connected my sleep... apnea to tinnitus. After waiting nearly 16 weeks for the VA to make a decision, I can finally say that I am now 100% rated. In fact, I am also now T&P (Total and permanent). Thank you, Dr. Anaise and Dr. Benham! Your expert opinion was undeniable. I just needed an honest opinion, and your IMO left no question unanswered. If anyone has doubts or concerns about their experience and expertise, I can confirm that this is the team to go with! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
